[QUOTE="imrich, post: 3038022, member: 22331"]As an "old-timer" who has used "spreadsheets" since VisiCalc was introduced in the late 70s, through Lotus123, Multiplan, Qpro, Excel, Suncalc, etc, still using Qpro which I found to be the most versatile. Syntax since Lotus123 has been very similar between "spreadsheets", and Qpro has general capability of Excel without complexity. It's believed that Microsoft will eventually destroy a good concept as done since developing NTFS, generally eliminating backwards compatibility with Fat32, Dos, etc.. The older spreadsheets can't be converted/updated to Excel, or even printed after XP/Vista became unsupported or compatible with browsers or newer Microsoft seeming more incompatible Operating Systems. I strongly suggest that whatever is used as a library/index for possessions, a "hard copy" should be generated, as I found necessary for my 7 figure "collection", documented on numerous inter-linked spreadsheets which can hardly be accessed or even printed. Just think of the future negative potential with "cloud technology" where your data is possibly available/owned controlled by ? JMHO[/QUOTE]
